CAN A BF BUY BRA/PANTIES TO HIS GF?

Jasonist — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:09:15 +0800

In a quite conservative culture we have here, isit possible for a boyfriend to buy some personal stuff such as bras or panties to her girlfriend as birthday or valentine present? will she accept the present or slap her boyfriend by saying goodbye?

Same question goes to girlfriends buying briefs to their boyfriends as presents...

TOYOTA SAI

Toyota Sai to be brand's second dedicated hybrid, goes on sale Oct. 20 in Japan

Even though there have been plenty of reports that Toyota would apply the Prius name to other hybrids in its lineup, thereby creating a Prius sub-brand, the upcoming second dedicated hybrid from the Japanese automaker bearing the Toyota name will be simply named the Toyota Sai. The Sai goes on sale in Japan on October 20th and slots in between the Prius and the Crown hybrid.

Featuring a more powerful engine than the Prius (a 2.4-liter gasoline engine compared to the 1.8-liter in the Prius), the Sai will look similar to the Lexus HS 250h (pictured) and will be based on the same underpinnings. Lexus has been selling the HS 250h in Japan since July and in the U.S. for a few weeks.

Toyota isn't giving out any clues about the car's overseas potential, but if the car ever comes to the U.S., it'll join the Camry hybrid as a pretty solid competitor to the Ford Fusion hybrid. There's a market for some Toyota badge engineering mixed with hybrid tech here, right?

THE SHORT FILM THREAD

Jasonist — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:45:01 +0800

Anyone interested in producing short films? Music videos? Videos that come with a story, concept or idea? I suddenly had an inspiration in creating a short film about the concept of Lights & Water... the idea is to deliver a relaxing sensaton with Chris Botti's Irresistible Bliss as background music... took me 5 days from filming to posting it on YouTube... this is my first attempt in creating such short film...

In this video, the changing colors of the lights represent the mood of each individual... eg blue means calm, red means aggressive etc... the water can be seen as dancing according to the color changing lights..

Do share here if you're interested in creating your own videography.... cheers!

KARMA

QUOTE

Karma - a body of religious and philosophical beliefs and cultural practices native to India and based on a caste system; it is characterized by a belief in reincarnation, by a belief in a supreme being of many forms and natures, by the view that opposing theories are aspects of one eternal truth, and by a desire for liberation from earthly evils.

the teaching of Buddha that life is permeated with suffering caused by desire, that suffering ceases when desire ceases, and that enlightenment obtained through right conduct and wisdom and meditation releases one from desire and suffering and rebirth.

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/karma

People say if you do good things, good things will happen to u; do the bad, bad things will happen to u... it's karma... but i often realise that people do bad things, good things keep happening to them... while others do good things, bad things keep haunting them...

to me, karma should be like this... | |
if u do good things, good things happen on u n vice versa

but it ends up to be like this... X
if u do good things, bad things still happen on u n vice versa

how to believe in karma? what is karma actually? does it really exist???

Shell Brings 007 Cars to Life
James Bond Collectible Cars Now Available at Shell Stations Nationwide

Shah Alam, 22 October 2008 – Shell Malaysia has just launched an exciting campaign in conjunction with the latest and much anticipated Bond movie – Quantum of Solace. The launch, which was held earlier today, witnessed an impressive turn-out of invited guests, eager to catch the first glimpse of what Shell has in store this time around.

Shell Malaysia is now offering exclusive James Bond 007 collectible cars to the Malaysian public, making Malaysia the first country in the world to launch this collection, made exclusively for Shell in partnership with James Bond.

Shell has always sought to continuously reward its loyal customers with the best premium quality collectibles. This exciting promotion comes on the back of Shell’s hugely successful promotion earlier this year with a total of over 3 million Ferrari model cars taken up by enthusiastic Malaysians.

“We have deliberately selected the models offered for the crucial role the cars have played in the respective movies. We expect this promotion to be very well received by our discerning customers, who recognise that not all fuels are the same, just like not all MI6 agents are the same. Shell V-Power Racing not only unleashes more power and performance to the engine but also helps motorists discover their passion for driving. Shell Super with Fuel Economy re-ignites their love of movement by providing extra kilometers” said Dato’ Mohzani Abdul Wahab, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd.

This two-month long promotion showcases limited-edition James Bond model cars that are sold exclusively at Shell petrol stations nationwide until December 17 or while stocks last. Each model can be purchased for RM5.50 by customers with a minimum purchase of RM40 worth of any Shell fuel or with the purchase Shell Helix (3L or 4L variants).

You don’t have to be Agent 007 to get his cars. Just go to your nearest Shell station to get your limited edition James Bond model cars – each from a classic James Bond film. These collectible model cars include the Sunbeam Alpine 5 featured in the movie ‘DR.No’, Lotus Esprit from ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’, BMW Z3 Roadster from ‘GoldenEye’, and the Aston Martin DB5 from ‘Goldfinger’ and ‘Thunderball’ .

This collection can also be showcased in a customized secret agent briefcase for only RM60, exclusively available at Shell stations.

“This is a one-of-a-kind collection and a must have for motoring enthusiasts and definitely for die-hard James Bond fans. This campaign starts now, so go to your nearest Shell Station, fill up with Shell V-Power Racing, Shell Super or Shell Diesel, and get your exclusive 007 model cars today,” Dato’ Mohzani continued.

In true 007 fashion, we have another surprise coming to you very soon. Watch out for its debut at Shell stations soon!

CARS WITH AIRBAGS

Jasonist — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 13:08:07 +0800

I wonder if the cars which include front driver and passenger airbags are truly safe to the users? Since what we know that airbags normally pop out during car crashes, do you think airbags sometimes can be malfunction?

Maybe I had watched too many funny comedies on TV, when a dude hits and punches his steering wheel real hard that the airbag suddenly pops out and knocked him unconscious... well, we can see tat happen in the world of movies but in the real world, does this really happen?

wat if we are so pissed off in the car (such as bad mood, traffic jams etc...), then we punch and hit the steering wheel, will the airbag pop out as well? if so, do cars with air bags really safe for us?

VERTIGO

Jasonist — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 10:08:50 +0800

This is a horrible symptom, making you feel so dizzy that you will vomit once you can't stand the dizziness. More seriously, it may cause deafness. From chinese, it is called "the water inside the ear is imbalance". Besides that, I found out that this symptom is endless, it may be ok for few months, then it may return again and cause more suffers...

Doctors unable to do much with this... all they know is to adjust the 'water' inside your ear. Then it will ok for a short period of time then it will return again.

ANYONE EVER HAD THIS SYMPTOM BEFORE? HOW YOU HANDLE THE PROBLEM?
